FALL SPORTS As soon as school begins, so goes the fall sports season, and almost everyone gets in- volved. Besides the athletes, coaches and trainers, there are the athletic boosters, the cheerleaders, the band and the fans. Students get into the action by making posters and signs, sporting the purple and the gold, organizing buses for away games and joining the Secret Admirers, who deco- rate lockers for good luck And of course, everyone looks forward to the week of homecoming. With a week full of exciting activities, the homecoming court, the pa- rade, the pep rally and the homecoming dance, home- coming week becomes one of the most anticipated weeks of the year, Spending Friday nights at the games, following favorite teams through the rigors of their season, planning the ac- tivities of clubs and organzia- tions, and going out for pizzas after activities with friends, has been apart of student life for many years. The only ma- jor changes are probably in the music on the jukebox and the price of the pizza. STUDENT LIFE 9
